Unknown ssm 48397 ssm 48397 - 2013-2015 fusion/mkz/escape/mkc - 1. 6l gtdi, 1. 5l gtdi, or 2. 0l gtdi with dtc p00c6, p0087, p008a, p008b, p018c, or p018d - flp sensor available some 2013-2015 fusion/mkz/escape/mkc with a 1. 6l gtdi, 1. 5l gtdi, or 2. 0l gtdi may exhibit a lack of power, loss of power, or stall when placed in gear with dtcs p00c6, p0087, p008a, p008b, p018c, or p018d. If normal diagnosis leads to a biased or failed fuel low pressure (flp) sensor, the sensor is available without the need to order the entire fuel line assembly. The flp sensor, located on the fuel supply line to the high pressure pump, provides the low side fuel pressure input to the pcm so the fuel driver module can be controlled accordingly. The flp pid can be viewed in the datalogger and then compared to a manual pressure gauge per pinpoint test hc in the pced to validate the sensor is working properly. The fusion/mkz catalog has been updated to show the sensor availability.
